I bet the officer reached towards his waistband or glovebox. He thought he had something in his hand. The officer was acting suspicious. The officer had a history of crime, a runin with the law when he was 12.The sovcit felt threatened and had to defend himself! Those are the talking points, right?
The SovCits have ~~qualified immunity~~ no contract with the government and thus are not subject to laws.
Can you really trust anyone who interacts with criminals on a daily basis?
Fucking hell that title. Made me think a police officer shot two other police officers.
That comma is working hard.
I had to read that title several times.
Was the Cop on Drugs? Was he wearing a Hoodie? Did he smoke a Joint once? Was he Sleeping? ALL these things are Things Cops have Killed people over so it's safe to Assume these are Dangerous Activities that REQUIRE violent intervention!
When SovCits stop being funny.
I despise cops for obvious reasons but I honestly don't think anyone gets paid enough to deal with sovcits.
I'm am sure this post will top the "sort by controversial" list.
From the article: "Cobb-Bey purchased the weapons legally".
I can't remember where I saw it, because it has been years, but a bunch of the Sovcits were passing a video of a man, that state police pulled over, threatening that if they didn't just leave, he was going to start a gun fight. So they left. They were all sharing it around, claiming victory, sucking each other off. Then, like a year or so later, a news article came out where they decided to watch the guy closely. Instead of just arresting him, they collected a bunch of criminal infractions to charge him with. Then, when he was coming out of some store, or restaurant, or whatever, they ambushed him and took him in.
Long story short, he had CP. Possibly was paying an underage girl for sex. ALL the sovcit hang-outs were immediately perma-banning anyone who posted it.
Like, I passionately despise the legal industry here. From the cops to the legislators. However, all they have done is make it so cops assume anyone, who doesn't immediately start sucking them off, is a sovcit. This makes them even more likely to be violent, and they do everything they can to make sure anyone that doesn't listen to their unlawful BS, is associated with that movement.
Sovereign citizen kills sovereign citizen.
Domestic terrorism
Yeah, it's not surprising that people see the police as terrorists and are starting to take their city back.
They had so many dogs left to kill, taken before their prime.
Maybe it had something to do with the "justice" system finding that Breonna Taylor was "actually killed by her boyfriend."
I know that made me really angry, I can only imagine how others might have felt.
I feel as bad for this guy as cops do for George Floyd.
This post has brought out the worst of Lemmy. At least I can find respite in the fact that those glorifying this are merely edgelord keyboard warriors and have absolutely no measurable impact on the real world.
